Event, whatever the findings turn out to be. lets start with cnns jim acosta at the white house. so, jim, based on who youre talking to, how is the white house feeling tonight about maybe eminent, maybe not so eminent delivery of the mueller findings? >> anderson, i think there is some cautious optimism. i do think there are officials who are expressing concern as you were mentioning a few moments ago. there is that reporting out there. i have talked to a number of sources over the past few days...

Because here is the leaked question that mueller reportedly did ask president trump. quote, what did you know about communication between roger stone, his associates julian assange or wikileaks. ev trump could say, hey, look. all kinds of people pass on tips and predictions in a campaign. but if he flatly denied it and mueller has evidence showing that, then i can report for you tonight this key moment in this hearing today could be something much more ominous for trump. now, we do not know what...

Question. cnn reported it, nbc has not confirmed it, but its relevant tonight. because cnn cited two direct sources who told mueller in writing, roger stone did not tell him about wikileaks. whoa. im going to leave this up on the screen for a minute. theres a lot going on. i want it to sink in. that as president, trump told mueller in writing that stone never told them about wikileaks. now, if thats true, fine. but if its not true, it could be a new crime. i repeat, a new crime committed by a pr...

Todays matter. stone was asked if he discussed his conversations with the wikileaks intermediary with the trump campaign in one of these types of sessions and he replied, i did not. that is part of what got stone indicted. cohens team argues if stone is lying, hes telling the truth about it today. stating that the evidence shows, stone spoke to multiple individuals in the trump campaign about what he claimed to know about those wikileaks e-mails. this wikileaks part of the story may shape up as ...

>> mr. trump put mr. stone on the speakerphone. he told mr. trump he had just gotten off the phone with julian assange and that mr. assange told mr. stone that within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of e-mails that would damage hillary clintons campaign. >> i can honestly say that can the trump, president trump and i have never discussed the wikileaks disclosures before, during, or after -- >> you never had a single discussion about hillary clinton e-mails with him at all? >> tha...

Is that something mueller says to doj, congress has got to esee that. thats not something were going to bury inside justice. >> part of the rational of the opinion that says the president cant be prosecuted doesnt say the president was king or above the law, it says we have another mechanism to resolve it and now theres congress and that would mean there has to be a way for congress to get the relevant information. > >> so a lot of people talk about mueller. do you think the evidence points to t...

I want to dive into something i havent had a chance to touch yet. the other mueller-related bombshell which michael cohen dropped today on both roger stone and donald trump. ill explain why it is potentially the most legally significant thing. evidence suggesting trump may have misled mueller in writing. a special breakdown of cohens testimony on hush payments. what im telling you is we have a whole lot more when we come back after the break. youre watching a special edition of "the beat." watch...

>> mr. trump knew from roger stone in advance about the wikileaks drop of e-mails. in july of 2016. days before the democratic convention. i was in mr. trumps office when his secretary announced that roger stone was on the phone. >> now, why could that be credible? as a general matter, cohen would be risking extra jail time if he lies about something that mueller has been studying and could easily debunk. as a specific matter, mueller released separate evidence which actually reinforces this bra...

More jail. so the republicans part of saying liar liar pants on fire. i thought the meadows when meadows looked like a fool when he was waving that document around and it turned out that michaels point was correct and his point was incorrect, i also thought aoc -- there were so many openings to your point for where investigations can go. i have not been a big fan of aoc. i thought she did a great job because she teed up the tax returns. i love all the kids came up explicitly. at this point muell...

Crimes mueller charged manafort with in the district of columbia. thats two conspiracies. they involve manaforts money laundering and failure to file as a russian agent and movement of money. of course his obstruction of justice with konstantin kilimnik. the reason we got this glimpse into the conspiracy aspect is mueller alleged manafort violated his plea agreement. part of it was this russia conspiracy. the fact it is not in the sentencing memo which is for unrelated charges tells us nothing a...
